Mattituck, NY -- The new “Digit -HT” series of compact motion control linear actuators provides the user with up to 440 lbs. of force. Available in 2, 4 and 8 in. (51, 102, and 203 mm) stroke lengths, and moving at up to 14 in/sec. (381 mm/sec), these compact in-line motion control linear actuators can provide up to 440 lbs of force (1957 N) using a 35 VDC driver at 1.7 to 3.4 Amps. Repeatability is 1.5 microns. Totally enclosed, these actuators are available in a variety of drive screw combinations. A variety of mounting options, including rod bearing clevises, trunnion mounts, and brackets allows easy integration into new and existing applications. The “Digit-HT,” linear actuator is ideal for use in robotics, medical equipment, processing, valve actuation, clean room, testing, pick-and-place, packaging, and positioning applications.

Precision ball and Acme drive screws directly coupled to the high performance NEMA 23 sized, 2 phase stepper motor provides the user with the ability to specify a precision linear actuator specifically for their application. Motor/screw combinations include: Zero backlash as well as combinations that cannot be back-driven. The “Digit-HT” motion control linear actuator with a NEMA 23 stepper is just 2.230 in. (56.6 mm) square x 3.230 in, (82 mm) long at the motor end with a 1.25 in. (26.7 mm) diameter housing tube. The overall length is only 5.582 in. (141.8 mm) longer than the stroke length. Home position sensing can be accomplished with either reed switches or hall effect sensors. The operating temperature range is -40O F to 150O F (-40OC to 65OC). Optionally, absolute (not incremental).analog or digital position feedback can be provided.
